Fuse Box Help

[Guest alexgoss]

Apologies if this is a really basic question but I want to get into the dashboard fuse box.

 

I have a new type galaxy (2004MY ?) and the rear wiper has stopped working - I thought the most obvious and first thing to check would be the fuse but the horizontal section of fuses (numbers 1 upwards) has a clear plastic cover which I am struggling to remove.

 

It may simply be that all it needs is a damn good pull but the manual gives no guidance and the last thing I want to do is use brute force and find the whole fuse box comes away in my hand.

 

So someone must have got it there before me so all clues / hints would be much appreciated.

 

Obviously if it's not the fuse it will be going in under warranty.

 

Cheers,

 

Alex

Brute force (and indeed ignorance) is often underderated, and works on my fuse cover.

Hi - just caught your post. Had an interesting snag with my rear wiper recently :rolleyes: Given I don't use it very often I did not know when it stopped working - also rear fog lights stopped working at some point :D

 

Local garage was adamant that it was a broken cable where it goes through the exposed trunking. Anyway, to cut a long story short, it transpired that a plug on Ford's 12S trailer wiring loom had come adrift. This easily explains the foglights but the wiper?? :(

 

I had done no end of continuity checking, had put a direct earth onto the moto, etc, but still could not get it to work!

 

It a bit like the turbo control being connected to to the brake switch I suppose (makes sense when you understand it but.......), but if you have OEM trailer wiring fitted, check the plugs in the RH wheelbrace pocket - you might be surprised :D

 

If it definitely bust - check out my post on Ebay - the brand new unused motor I bought to replace my "dead" one is up for sale :huh:
